Reservations
Historic hotel bar with strong cocktails and iconic Boston Cream Pie, better for drinks and light bites than a full meal; service and pie quality vary and waits can be long.
Why it gets a C for overall quality
The Last Hurrah delivers on historic Boston charm and knowledgeable bartenders, making it a worthwhile stop for cocktails and the iconic Boston Cream Pie. However, inconsistent food quality—particularly variable pie moisture and temperature—combined with frequent service delays during peak hours prevent a stronger grade. Best experienced during quieter times when the storied setting and drink program shine.
Restaurant Summary
Housed within the Omni Parker House, this lounge leans warm and historic more than flashy. Reviewers describe cozy leather chairs, a relaxed pace, and servers who sometimes share house lore: "Our server slipped in fun hotel history between check-ins." It is a place to settle in with a martini, not to rush. Expect crowds at peak hours and seating policies that can feel firm. Cooking here is classic hotel-bar fare with comfort-first dishes: chowder, French dip, pizzas, and the signature Boston Cream Pie. Many love the pie’s glossed chocolate and almond crunch, while a vocal minority call it dry or too cold—consistency varies with the rush. Drinks are the safer bet; several guests come back just for cocktails in a storied setting. Families do fine when it is not slammed. The menu has kid-friendly standbys like Margherita pizza, club sandwiches, and fries-adjacent bites; dessert is an easy win. At busy times, waits and tight seating frustrate larger groups, so parents may prefer earlier visits and a simple plan like pizza plus pie for the table.
